Over the last few years, we have won many gun rights battles. We helped bring concealed carry to Ohio. We now have Castle Doctrine to make us safer in our homes. We even won a historic Supreme Court case to establish gun ownership as an individual right.But I think all these victories have put many Ohio gun owners to sleep.They think that since we've done so well recently, we have nothing to worry about. Even the new Democrat administration seems to be shrugging their shoulders at gun issues.

But this is all an illusion.

Right now as you read this, gun-hating activists across the nation (and around the world) are planning to make their move against the Second Amendment of the United States. Obama has appointed the single most anti-gun administration in the history of America. George Soros is quietly funneling millions to radical left-wing groups. The United Nations is pushing a treaty to overstep our domestic laws and allow our Constitutional rights to be swept away.

The stage is being set and they are waiting for the right moment. Our foes have great patience and have learned to avoid face-to-face battles. When it comes, it will be a surprise attack. Especially to those not paying attention. This is exactly how it happened in England and other countries. They didn't prepare. And now their rights are gone.This is why I'm worried. And this is why I'm asking you to help us prepare. Starting today.

I'm not asking for money, though if you want to donate, we appreciate it. I'm asking you to help us do something of vital importance. It may take you less than two minutes. But it could literally change the course of gun rights in Ohio.

Our newsletter subscriber list is our single most important asset. This is what lets us get the word out to thousands of Ohio gun owners and Second Amendment supporters. It is what makes us so incredibly effective and has helped us accomplish so much.

When something happens, we can literally rally thousands of citizens within minutes. This helps us generate calls to legislators, fill committee rooms with ardent supporters, sway elections in favor of pro-gun candidates who will say "no" to bad legislation and "yes" to good legislation. It even lets us communicate the truth to the media, who have slowly but surely started to see that we have been right all along about the positive effect of gun rights in Ohio.So here's what I'm asking you to do.

I can do ALL THINGS through Him who gives me strength. Phillipians 4:13

I remember when the city of Columbus enacted it's first gun ban, the largest peaceful demostration in the cities history happened the day the ban became law, not for the gun ban, but against it. The city lost the revenue from the bimonthly gun shows that were put on by OGCA. OGCA moved and other gunshows popped up, so effectively the gun ban did notheing except cause a loss of income to the city.

The politicians don't listen to the people, they do what they want. That is why I moved out of the city.
